Type Help is a browser text mystery by William Rous set around Galley House. Players type file-related commands, but the exact file order is not verified. A timeline is therefore more reliable than copying a rigid sequence from an unconfirmed walkthrough.
Use three evidence columns
For each useful file or clue, record:
- time: when the described event happened;
- location: where it happened;
- person: who is connected to it.
Add a fourth notes column for uncertainty. Mark whether a relationship is explicit, inferred, or still unknown. This keeps an early guess from silently becoming a fact.
Track files without inventing an order
Keep the file reference, the detail it added, and the question it leaves open. When progress stalls, return to entries with a missing time, location, or person. A later clue may complete an earlier row even when the files were opened in a different sequence.
The goal is not to prove one universal order. It is to build a consistent account of the information you have already uncovered.
Keep commands and conclusions separate
Record the file-related command you tried separately from the story conclusion you drew. If a command does not help, that result says nothing by itself about the narrative. This separation makes the investigation easier to revise.
